Tip-off leads to suspected burglary arrests

ALERT members of the public reported suspicious activity in the Derrew area of Ballyheane on Saturday which resulted in the arrest later of two men for suspected burglary offences.

The pair had allegedly been trespassing in sheds. Gardaí who rushed to the scene around 2.30 p.m. stopped a vehicle in which the suspects were questioned. They were later released. A file is to be sent to the DPP.

Garda Supt. Joe McKenna yesterday (Monday) thanked those who had reported the suspicious activity.

He said the information supplied had proved hugely helpful to officers in their investigation.
